'Married to a chicken farmer, and now a faded beauty queen, Marmalade wishes she'd crossed her legs during her reign as Miss Sweet Potato '79. Taking command of her only child's wedding, Marmalade is compelled to sabotage her own plans in a desperate bid to become the centre of attention. Events begin to unravel when her daughter Egg's fiance, a sexy American fighter pilot, jets onto the scene.' Source: www.perththeatre.com.au/ (Sighted 01/03/2007).
